CHRONIXX has addressed his controversial ‘waste man’ remark about United States president Barack Obama.
In an interview with Billboard.com, the singer said the media is to blame for misrepresenting his Instagram post, made during Obama’s visit to Jamaica in April.
“The post was more about Marcus Garvey as a leader of the black movement. The media has a way though how to fix things to their own benefit. They use little points from what you say and take it and put it as headline. So they might take the most insignificant aspect of a whole reasoning and use that as the headline,” he said.
The Instagram rant was triggered by what Chronixx considers the US government’s failure to clear National Hero Marcus Garvey of mail fraud in that country.
Garvey was deported to Jamaica in 1927 after serving four years in a Federal prison for mail fraud. Some historians and scholars argue that his imprisonment was politically and racially motivated.
Chronixx was roundly criticised for describing Obama as a ‘waste man’, street slang for a person lacking ambition.
he still on this? why?nothing nah gwan fi him?
So a Garvey Chronixx did a call waste man then? Foh with your shit after we neva born yessideh!!
Nuff people love obama because himm black and talk sweet but look behind di smile and see di man is no different from bush look how di man f**k up Libya because dem want the oil and all the other genocide this man commit him is no saint.
@Nosey, Very few leaders have perfectly clean hands, and they operate off the information provided to them by the ‘experts’ around them. Most developed nations are working to make them less oil dependent, they want to move away from the oil dependency completely.
